Does A Qur'an Teacher Have To Make Ablution?
Question :
When he instructs his students how to recite the Mushaf, does a teacher have to have ablution or is purity not a condition in such case?
Answer:
Here, a teacher is like everyone else: he cannot touch the Mushaf unless he is in a state of purity according to the view of the majority of the scholars, as well as the Four Imams, may Allah have mercy upon them. This is because of the Hadith of 'Amr bin Hazm in which the Prophet ﷺ said:
"None touches the Qur'an except the pure."
This is a Hadith with a good chain of narration, recorded by Abu Dawud and others, in both connected form as well as Mursal form. There are many routes for it that support its authenticity in connected form, and it was according to this that the Companions of the Prophet judged, may Allah be pleased with them. And with Allah is the facilitation to do what is correct.
